Back In the saddle. Thanks to our new soft muzzle, Gus is back in the saddle again, today he took a ride with Fanny. We missed having him out in the pasture, and he loves coming. He was startled by the muzzle, but also adapting quickly to it.
He’s very good that way and he has a lot to adapt to. We’ve slipped into one of those good troughs, no incidents for two, going on three days. He looks good, is hungry, active and adjusting to his new life.
The muzzle will enable him to get outside more, run around with Fate, visit his animal friends the sheep and donkeys. For a few weeks, Gus has been mostly a house dog, which doesn’t really suit him or us.
He’s coming in the car on outings again, and staying out in the dog fence. We only muzzle him in the pasture. i always marvel at the adaptability of dogs.
Fanny seemed quite happy to see him, but the donkeys are mysterious and deep, you never really know what they are thinking.
We know better than to think this is all over, but it is pretty good and we hope to keep our streak going. The trick is not to relax too much and think it’s over. We have learned a lot and changed a lot. We’re in a good place today. It was fun to see Gus sitting up there with his muzzle. He looks even stranger than he usually does, and he is learning that he can just walk around the pasture and have some fun and not eat sheep poop.
thanks for the pic. so cute.
He is just sooo cute and adorable and an inspiration to all of us. He really makes my day! Thank you so much for keeping us posted. You and Maria are doing a great job with this and he’s so lucky to have you both and you’re blessed to have him.
